Student’s response to the mission’s experience:

 

 Few of our students had done any type of mission trip. All were passionate about serving others, and all feel led to do some type of future service in the future.

Preparation, guidance, hospitality, and interaction of your hosts/host agency:
Unfortunately, the camp had trouble finding enough work to keep all of us busy every day. Some problems with communications that slowed the work. But the staff is very hospitable. And the camp works with two other groups, so they were trying to coordinate more than 500 volunteers that week. A tough job for any group.
